Maybe kaffe's Klasses.zip is somehow confusing it?
Here is a sample class that it barfs on:

  import java.io.*;
  public class Foo {
    public static class FooBar extends DataInputStream {
      public FooBar() {
	super(new InputStream() {
	  public int read() {
	  return -1;
	  }
	});
      }
    }
  }

Can someone try this with the Sun classes.zip in their CLASSPATH
instead and tell me if it works?

Thanks, I saw that one go by. I think Godmar has already checked in a
FreeBSD-specific workaround anyway. And I added a regression test for it.
